"Palmer was fourteen years old in September 1958 when he made the unlikely journey alone by train to Phillips Exeter Academy in New Hampshire. It is impossible to read this boy’s story―‘ninth child of ten, and the sixth of seven sons’―without feeling the loneliness of that first passage away from home―a black boy crossing into a bastion of white privilege―and the scale of the transformation that awaited him."―Carrie Brown, author of The Stargazer's Sister "My friendship with Larry has been among the most enduring of my Exeter friendships, but―before I read his memoir of social and racial dislocation―I never knew the story that unfolded in the home Larry left when he came to Exeter. Larry’s remarkable family story gives me a deeper appreciation of someone I met as a teenager and have known all my life. As a teammate and a friend, I always loved Larry. Now I understand him more."―John Irving “Larry Palmer’s Scholarship Boy is a poignant exploration of family, longing, and cultural disorientation, seen through the eyes of an African American teenager sent to live and study at a prestigious New England prep school in the 1950s. This absorbing story reminds us that the questions of race and identity we wrestle with today are nothing new, and progress, when it comes at all, often comes at a snail’s pace.”―Dinty W. Moore, author of Between Panic & Desire “Near the end of Larry Palmer’s fine memoir Scholarship Boy his family tries to assemble for a family portrait. The picture is difficult to compose: the family members are moving hither and yon, reassembling in different configurations, struggling to honor the intricacies that govern the Palmer clan. And they are a rich and complex family, with Lear-like grand personalities. Scholarship Boy is also a book about a very brilliant young man who went to Phillips Exeter, Harvard College, and Yale Law School. It is a tale of his loneliness, his desire to honor his parents’ dictates, his difficulty in living in two worlds, and his ability, thank goodness, to find mentors, institutions, and friends to sustain him. It is also a very poignant narrative, full of pathos and love, about one family’s participation in recent African American history, including segregation, school integration, and dreams fulfilled and nullified. Honest, gracefully written, and uncompromisingly vulnerable, Larry Palmer’s book is unceremoniously generous. Palmer does not grandstand: He is never simply this or that. He is, in the best sense, simply himself: A man trying to stand in a furious whirlwind.” ―Kenneth A. McClane, W.E.B. DuBois Professor of Literature Emeritus, Cornell University “On the surface, this is the story of a black boy’s adventure of finding his way in the all-white, blazers, ties and sports world of an all-boys boarding school in the 1950s. Its heart, however, is the family this boy comes from. As the next to the youngest of ten, it was the older brothers and sisters who gave this scholarship boy the chops to navigate the treacherous waters of an alien world with aplomb and make the best of his opportunities. What an apt tribute that each of them gets to step into the limelight of this luminous coming-of-age memoir.”―Annette Gendler, author of Jumping Over Shadows and How to Write Compelling Stories from Family History

A synopsis of this drama will give a taste of its theme and quality:David Madison is on a schoarship at St.Donat's Abbey, a public school,. He quickly becomes popular with most of the other boys, Tony Masefield being his special friend. The exceptions are Richard DeMacey and Gilbert Roye, who resent him because of his popularity and because he is a free pupil; and they behave towards him in a cruel, snobbish and vindictive way.Things suddenly worsen even more when Mr.Ledwidge, an old and much-loved master, becomes ill and goes into a nursing home for treatment. He is replaced by Coleman, a pitiless, unstable young man, who immediately institutes a reign of terror in Lower School, to the delight of DeMacey and Roye and their cronies, whom he more or less plays up to, seeing the way things are. David becomes the particular target of his vicious and sadistic ways, being considered safe and fair game because he is a scholarship boy.Matters continue to deteriorate when Belford, a big, loutish, loud-mouthed bully, returns to school in spring, to join his old cronies, DeMacey and Roye and their friends, After a slanging match in the Common Room of Abbot's House, which ends in a boxing-cum-wrestling melee when David comes to grips with Belford when aiding the lively Tony, whose hot temper has got him into difficulties with the bully, Coleman arrives on the scene, and, as usual, picks on David as the instigator of the brawl. He reports him to the Headmaster, Dr.Princeton, who is unaware of what is going on in Lower School, as a bad influence and a trouble-maker which David answers in silence, knowing the futility of contradicting a teacher's word. Dr. Princeton tells him that in view of Coleman's statement, and since his school- work is no longer up to standard for a boy on a scholarship - he will have to report him to the Board of Governors, and warns him that this may mean him leaving the school. There is a temporary reprieve from this dread prospect when David, with the assistance of DeMacey, who is gradually cooling towards Roy and Belford, beginning to see them for what they really are. and warming towards David and his friends, bravely takes charge of things when Tony suddenly collapses and is rushed to hospital as an emergency when an eroded blood vessel causes serious haemorrhaging. This is the climax of an eventful day, when David, knowing that Tony isn't feeling well, despite his protests, shoulders the blame of authorship when Coleman is virtually handed an exercise-book by Roye which has very derogatory remarks about the master in it, and is given a severe beating.Roye and Belford watch venomously the growing friendship between Richard and David, waiting for an opportunity to harm David if they can.. This presents itself when two parcels are delivered to the school, one for David, the other for Coleman. They hide David,s parcel and switch the labels to Coleman's parcel. When Coleman hears that David has his parcel, he refuses to listen to any explanation for the peculiar mix-up and gives David his worst flogging.David can take no more. He runs away from school, but is brought back by the school doctor. It is only now that a horrified Dr.Princeton learns the whole sorry story of what has been going on in Lower School without his knowledge. In a charged, unofficial inquiry, he confronts Coleman, who tries to wriggle out of the accusations that are levelled against him by the boys of Lower School, who now feel free to talk out openly, by accusing them of grotesquely exaggerating everything and acting out of spite. To no avail, Dr.Princeton dismisses him from the school on the spot, and Roye and Belford are expelled when their part in the nefarious parcel affair is exposed in the same inquiry.All ends well. Mr.Ledwidge returns to the school, and Tony Masefield, too, and everything is back to glorious normality.

At the ideological level, these shifts correspond to the transformation of the traditional intellectual into a state functionary and, ultimately, into a technician or "expert," totally subsumed under capital and charged with the management of "cultural studies." Running alongside, and locked into, this first narrative is a second, which, in the form of three autobiographical essays, traces the author's long trek from his childhood origins in a working-class family, through the institutions of education - and the experience of increasing embourgeoisement - to his attempts, within the Australasian, Caribbean and North-American academy, to retrieve the legacy of socialism.
